Apple Releases Safari Technology Preview 122 With Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements

Apple today released a new update for Safari Technology Preview, the experimental browser Apple first introduced in March 2016. Apple designed the ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ to test features that may be introduced into future release versions of Safari.

Safari Technology Preview Feature
‌Safari Technology Preview‌ release 122 includes bug fixes and performance improvements for Web Inspector, Animations, CSS, CSS Color, CSS Aspect Ratio, JavaScript, WebAssembly, Web API, Media, WebRTC, and Accessibility.

The current ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ release is the built on the new Safari 14 update included in macOS Big Sur with support for Safari Web Extensions imported from other browsers, tab previews, password breach notifications, web authentication with Touch ID, and more.

The new ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ update is available for both macOS Catalina and macOS Big Sur, the newest version of the Mac operating system.

The ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ update is available through the Software Update mechanism in System Preferences to anyone who has downloaded the browser. Full release notes for the update are available on the Safari Technology Preview website.

Apple's aim with ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ is to gather feedback from developers and users on its browser development process. ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ can run side-by-side with the existing Safari browser and while designed for developers, it does not require a developer account to download.

Quiet thread. Has anyone using 122 experienced or noticed anything new or different or better? Running it as my primary now, and haven't found anything at all.
It looks like the major bugs are kinda gone. Especially the RAM pop-up on several websites. I think they worked a bit under the hood of it.

Selection is lacking though and lack of uBlock Origin means pass.
Use whatever browser you want. Who cares? I was just pointing something out.

For home use I would recommend getting Pihole on a raspberry pi or other stationary device.
No need to install adblockers on any device and it works really well.

Could also be used outside home if you create a VPN server (ex Wireguard) in your home network and connect to that in public hotspots etc.
